In this book, experienced scholars of grounded theory discuss the theoretical rationale for using this design, describe its components, and delineate a plan to use grounded theory methodology. Grounded theory is a qualitative research approach used to develop theory about a phenomenon that is rooted in observation of empirical data. This method enables researchers to apply what they learn from interviewees to a wider client population. A researcher using grounded theory begins by posing basic questions about a topic, and then proceeds to gather data until core theoretical concepts emerge, based upon the observations of the researcher. This concise, ""how to"" guide to conducting ethnography research is part of seven-book nursing series, Qualitative Designs and Methods , that focuses on qualitative methodologies. The series will be of direct aid to novice nurse researchers and specialists seeking to develop or enhance their competency in a particular design, graduate educators and students in qualitative research courses, research sections in larger hospitals, and in-service educators and students. In the book, experienced scholars of grounded theory discuss the theoretical rationale for using this design, describe its components, and delineate a plan to use grounded theory methodology. Examples from published nursing research, with author commentary, help support new and experienced researchers in making decisions and facing challenges. The book describes phases of research, and discussions of methodology, from sample and setting to dissemination and follow-up. It encompasses state-of-the-art research about grounded theory with an extensive bibliography and resources.
